ISAAC module is the integrated module of the ISAAC ontology network, it is a formal theory about image schemas, proposed in the form of ontology, conceptually derived from the comparison and harmonization of the Hedblom, Johnson87 and Mandler&Pagán Cánovas ISAAC network ontology modules.
By means of the DUL+DnS foundational grounding and the TheoreticalFragment class in the ISExuviae module, it was possible to isolate ontology elements in conceptual classes, sort of semantic fields, and build a new ontology soundly and consistently committing, when necessary, to what in our view was the best option among competing classes and properties in fragments.
In particular the integrated module reuses the theoretical background from Johnson1987, and classes from MPC and Hedblom, evetually refraimed with the aim of Exuviae vocabulary, according to COntPare methodology.
Designed by Stefano De Giorgis and Aldo Gangemi.

"Image schemas represent the abstract generalisations learned from the sensorimotor processes. They are conceptual gestalts, meaning that each part is essential for the whole meaning of the image schema, and most often they are described as capturing sensorimotor relationships and their transformations."
(Hedblom, M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019)
"Image schemas, on the other hand, are spatiotemporal relationships used in cognitive science as building blocks to conceptualise objects and events on a high level of abstraction."
(Hedblom, M. M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019. Image schema combinations and complex events.)
"Gestalts, in the sense I am using the term, are not unanalyzable givens or atomistic structures . They can be "analyzed" since they have parts and dimensions. But, any such attempted reduction will destroy the unity (the meaningful organization) that made the structure significant in the first place."
Johnson M., The Body in the Mind, University of Chicago Press, 1987 chap 3, p.62
"While these forms of combinations capture some of the most apparent combinations of image schemas, they are by no means intended to be exhaustive. Other combinations, or even combinations of these combinations, are possible to exist"
(Hedblom, M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019)
Image schemas consist of different “parts”; “These ‘parts’ can either be removed or added while still capturing the same basic image schema, generating what can be described as an imageschema ‘family’.” (Hedblom et al. 2015: 23)
"similar image schemas can be grouped together into ‘families’ represented as graphs of theories with increasing complexity."
(Hedblom, M. M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019. Image schema combinations and complex events.)
The Static or Dynamic Form of an Image Schema.
(Maria M. Hedblom, Dagmar Gromann, and Oliver Kutz. 2018.)
"groupings of image schemas that capture the spatiotemporal relationships related to particular events."
(Todd Oakley. Image schema. In Dirk Geeraerts and Hubert Cuyckens, editors, The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics, pages 214–235. Oxford University Press, 2010.)
(Hedblom, M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019)
The relation for two or more Image Schema family intersection being the consequence of two or more Image Schemas intersection.
(Hedblom, M. M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019. Image schema combinations and complex events.)
This property links some Concept or Event to its Image Schema Profile - namely to all the Spatial Schemas that are used in the conceptualizing process of that Concept or Event.
"The enriched spatial concept that results from blending a spatial event with a non-spatial component."
(Mandler & Pagán Cánovas 2014)
"schematic integrations use the first two types (Spatial Primitives and Image Schemas) to build concepts that include non-spatial elements, such as force and emotion.
(Mandler & Pagán Cánovas 2014: 1)
"The first conceptual representations to include non-spatial elements, by projecting feelings or non-spatial perceptions to blends structured by image schemas."
(Mandler & Pagán Cánovas 2014)
“Spatial primitives are the first conceptual building blocks formed in infancy”
(Mandler & Pagán Cánovas 2014: 1)
The type of combination of the Image Schema.
(Hedblom, M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019)
The relation from one Image Schema combining with another one.
(Hedblom, M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019)
This property expresses the climatic complexity of Image Schemas through the use of one or more Spatial Primitives. Some more basic Image Schemas use just one or few Spatial Primitives, while more complex Image Schemas are "fine tuning" for the more basic ones, since they are more specialised and articulated in their compositional structure and meaning.
(Hedblom et al. 2015)
The Image Schema Family to which a Spatial Schema pertains.
(Hedblom et al. 2015)
The grouping relation having as domain an Image Schema Family and as range a Spatial Primitive or a Spatial Schema.

"This process is similar to what is called a s i m p l e x n e t w o r k in
Conceptual Integration Theory (Fauconnier & Turner, 2002, pp. 121−122). In a simplex network, an unstructured element becomes blended with a structured input space. In the resulting blend, the unstructured element assumes a relevant role within the organizing frame imported from the structured input space."
(Mandler & Pagán Cánovas 2014)
Some Image Schemas are the result of the intersection of other Image Schemas. e.g. GOING_IN is the result of SOURCE_PATH_GOAL and CONTAINMENT.

The relation between two Image Schemas, one being the Dynamic form for the other.

The relation of usage from one Image Schema to another Image Schema or Spatial Primitive.
The "using" relation is a wide property that could include part-like notions, perspectivization, reusage and other kind of dependancies.
This property states that one Image Schema inherits the "type of movement" e.g. in CYCLE, straight to a goal as in PATH_TO_GOAL etc. from another Image Schema.
(Hedblom, M. M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019. Image schema combinations and complex events.)
Some concepts can be conceptualized as built from a collection of Image Schemas, this collection is called "Profile".
(Hedblom, M., Kutz, O., Peñaloza, R., & Guizzardi, G. 2019)
This property states that one Image Schema inherits the "spatial organization" e.g. in CENTER_PERIPHERY from another Image Schema.
